A great partnership between product and sales needs to be based on shared definitions of success and an agreed upon process to collaborate. Without these things, the relationship retreats to the magnetic stereotypes of both industries: Product teams think sales teams will do, say and sell anything to make money, while sales teams think product teams will build anything cool except things that actually make money.

Product Management Unpacked

“Growing up in the 1970’s, I watched The Bionic Woman and Charlie’s Angels. They became my female role models and heroines – strong, intelligent problem-solvers who used their feminine skills to their advantage,” says Kate Hare, Chief Product Officer at Photobucket, to Women 2.0 , a media and tech industry leader in gender equality.

[link] It’s annual review period for many companies and a lot of people are now thinking about their promotion.

Amazon can’t break into the fashion industry because they don’t have high end products Image Credit: Canonicalized. As we all know, Amazon sells a lot of different things.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.
Mind the Product

They go from planning one product to the next, foregoing the opportunity to establish fundamental product instincts, which only develop after managing the same product for an extended period of time.

How many more Christmases will we have all together with our entire extended family? How many Saturday daddy-and-kid brunches do I get with my three little ones while they’re still somewhat little? How many more reunion getaway weekends will I have with my college roommates?

It was designed with just a tiny audience in mind?—?airline cabin crew?—?and was inspired by Plath’s own experience of spending a lot of time moving around airplanes and airport terminals. He knew the pain of lugging bags along airport corridors and waiting for them at baggage carousels.
